Illness Perception and the Severity of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms in Patients with Multimorbidity: Observational Cohort Studies.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionMany studies have shown a correlation between the patient's engagement in treatment and their perception of the illness.
aimThe aim of this study has been to explore the link between the patient's perception of their illness with anxiety and depression, and to leverage this link to promote health education. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study was carried out using the following tools: the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Illness Perception Questionnaire-Revised. The study participants included N = 143 patients.
resultsThe participants' age was statistically significantly associated with the expected duration of the illness (
conclusionsIndividuals who perceived a high severity of illness symptoms also assessed that the illness significantly impacted their life and emotional state. The authors demonstrate a strong link of a "negative" perception of the illness with depression and anxiety. A better understanding of the illness predicted a less severe depression and lower anxiety. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The results suggest that the study of illness perception holds significant potential to contribute effectively to educational and psychotherapeutic practices.
